When the Real Book was first published, there was fake book another series called spaces. There were six different volumes.
Spaces I – Jazz Classics (C)
Spaces II – Contemporary Funk Jazz (C)
Spaces III – Jazz Mixed Bag (C)
Spaces IV – Compendium of Jazz
Spaces V – Bebop (C)
Spaces VI – Solos (C)
Many of them were direct copies of the charts that were in the Real Book.
However there was one volume that was quite distinct from the others. The Volume VI Solos.
Even today this one is quite rare. It was never readily available.
No need to go looking for it though. We have brought that one into the digital software realm.
This contains hundreds of Jazz Solos for Every Jazz Instrument imaginable – Piano, Trumpet, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Sax, Bass, Flute, Vibes, Trombone, Violin, Clarinet and Jazz Guitar.
